Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 178 What should I do?
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"You big idiot! Morgan!"

Flynn laughed wildly.

Since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to give up and didn't care about Morgan's feelings at all.

Even after being dragged out of the council hall, his laughter still echoed in the hall, making everyone's heads buzz.

"That old bastard Flynn, he gets more and more of a scoundrel as he gets older," Victor said, trying to appear calm.

"So many years have passed, and instead of restraining himself, he has become even more outrageous. I will have the city defense troops keep a close watch on him from now on, and never let him step out of the archives again!"

Unexpectedly, the Lord Grey who returned to the Lighthouse was just an empty shell; the brain inside had been replaced.

Lord Gray was wise throughout his life, but he suffered such misfortune in his later years. Even if he were still alive, he would probably be living in a terrarium, barely surviving on nutrient solution provided by his enemies.

It's unbelievable!

But then again, why would Lord Gray want to possess someone else's body?

Gordon lowered his head, trembling.

He realized he knew a terrible secret and might have to travel far away that very night.

The long journey itself was fine, but he hadn't yet said goodbye to Ms. Tara.

On the high platform, Morgan stood expressionless.

His hands gripped the handrails tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, and his aged body trembled slightly.

teacher!

How are you now?

Gray had shown him great favor, first by promoting him to commander of the hunters, then by marrying his daughter to him, and finally by letting him take over the Lighthouse and become the Lighthouse Lord, a position above all others.

Such a great favor!

Now, reality is staring us in the face.

The teacher's body has been taken by someone else, and his fate is unknown. This person is impersonating the teacher on the lighthouse, demanding all sorts of privileges, undermining the three fundamental laws, and endangering the foundation of the lighthouse.
He should be reduced to ashes!
But the words came back again.

As the lord of the lighthouse, his greatest mission is to maintain the lighthouse's existence, not to satisfy his personal desires.

Bai Yuetian has a powerful force behind him, which can even trade antimatter with the Lighthouse. The Lighthouse is his territory, and it would be easy for him to grind Bai Yuetian to dust, but he might not be able to protect the Lighthouse the next day.

After decades of painstaking efforts and countless sacrifices, Lighthouse has achieved its current stable situation.

Should we break the lighthouse for someone who has been gone for decades?

but
That's Mr. Gray!

Knowing that my teacher has met with misfortune, if I remain indifferent, how can I face Meiwei in the future, and how can I face my teacher after my death?

Morgan was torn between his inner thoughts and his own mind.

His heart was pounding and his breathing was becoming increasingly rapid.

A sickly pallor crept onto his sallow face, and his body trembled more and more noticeably.

"Lord City Lord?"

Victor noticed Morgan's unusual behavior: "Although this matter is of great importance, not many people know about it. You can take your time to plan it out, and please don't upset yourself!"

The people in the hall are all under their complete control, so there's no need to worry about information leaking out.

Morgan had ample time to devise a strategy.

However, Morgan's trembling did not lessen; instead, it became more intense.

It almost turned into epilepsy!

Victor shouted anxiously, "Quick!"

"The city lord has fallen ill!"

"Get the city lord to the medical room immediately! We cannot afford to fail!"

The successor to the Lighthouse City Lord has not yet been determined. Internally, there is Bai Yuetian, who has taken over the body of the Gray City Lord, and externally, there are newly contacted ground forces.

If Morgan were to collapse at this moment, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Is Bai Yuetian the Lord of Gray City?"

Jingnan's eyes widened, her fair face filled with disbelief.

Mark had a similar expression.

Both of them were stunned by Elon's words.

Elon nodded.

He slowly said, "Although it is unclear what the city lord talked about with Bai Yuetian later, the city lord should have confirmed Bai Yuetian's identity and changed Bai Yuetian's status to upper class through the Light and Shadow Society."

Jingnan's mouth was slightly open, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a moment.

Elon glanced at Mark.

He whispered, "This is a top secret of the Lighthouse, and I shouldn't be telling you, but you seem to be in a hurry. Has something happened?"

Mark snapped out of his daze.

He hesitated and said, "I'm a little confused right now."

"So the reason why the city lord treats Bai Yuetian so well is because he considers Bai Yuetian to be the city lord of Gray?"

“Of course,” Elon nodded.

He gave Mark a deep look, then said, "Morgan will only make an exception for Lord Gray."

"Before the three laws were promulgated, Lord Gray was both his teacher and his father-in-law."

"Lord Gray first promoted him to commander of the hunters, then married his daughter Maye to him, and finally made him the city lord." "Without Lord Gray, he wouldn't be where he is today!"

At this point, Elon smiled.

"I never expected that Lord Gray would return after so many decades, and that he would have such a close relationship with a powerful ground force. He truly lives up to his reputation as Lord Gray, always bringing unexpected surprises!"

Morgan spent decades at the Lighthouse, barely managing to keep it running, and causing many tragedies along the way.

The old city lord went down to the surface alone, starting without even a dog. When he returned, he not only became younger, but also made contact with a powerful ground force, bringing the Beacon of Hope back to the surface.

The difference is obvious when you compare the two!

However, Mark's expression was complicated, and the image of Morgan's gloomy face in the council hall kept flashing through his mind.

“I never expected Bai Yuetian to be the Lord of Gray City. Now that’s made sense, many things make sense. No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity with him the first time I saw him,” Jing Nan murmured.

Elon nodded: "Lord Grey held you when you and Charles were still very young, so it's only natural that he was affectionate towards you."

Jingnan nodded slightly.

If the Three Laws were not involved, according to the kinship ties of the old world, Bai Yuetian would be her and Charles's maternal grandfather.

There is a natural connection between family members.

but
Jing Nan's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly as he recalled what had just happened in the court council hall.

"Tell me what's going on with you two," Elon said, looking them over. "You both look so worried, what happened?"

Mark and Jingnan exchanged a glance.

Mark began, "For some reason, after the city lord learned of Bai Yuetian's name, his attitude towards Bai Yuetian changed drastically. He said that Bai Yuetian was not a Lighthouse person and was not trustworthy."

Elon was stunned.

A thought crossed his mind subconsciously.
Is Morgan drunk?
Lord Gray wasn't a Lighthouse resident. He recognized every single word in that sentence, but when put together, he couldn't understand it at all.
Even Lord Grey isn't a Lighthouse resident, so does the Lighthouse even have any people left?
"After learning Bai Yuetian's name?" he asked, puzzled.

Mark nodded: "The city lord's expression turned very bad after he learned that Bai Yuetian called himself 'Bai Yuetian'."

Elon frowned.

Bai Yuetian—is there something wrong with this name?

The three of them looked at each other.

Morgan previously believed that Bai Yuetian was the lord of Gray City, so he favored Bai Yuetian. If his attitude suddenly changed, it could only be because Bai Yuetian was not actually the lord of Gray City.

What changed Morgan's mind was the phrase "White Moonlight".

Although many clues are lacking, from Morgan's perspective, he might think that if Bai Yuetian is called "Bai Yuetian," then he must not be Lord Gray.

"So, Lord City Lord, because of Bai Yuetian's name, you suddenly feel that Bai Yuetian is not Lord Gray City Lord?" Elon frowned.

He asked in confusion, "But Bai Yuetian can pass through the three layers of biometric identification in the gravity body!"

If it can pass biometric identification, how could it be fake?

"The city lord also mentioned brain transplant surgery!" Mark said in a deep voice.

Brain transplant surgery? Elon was stunned.

Jingnan picked up the conversation, frowning as she said, "Brain transplant surgery, as the name suggests, is a surgery to transplant the brain."

"If Bai Yuetian did indeed transplant his brain into Lord Gray's body, then he could naturally pass through biometrics, since biometrics cannot recognize the brain."

Elon looked surprised.

"You suspect that Bai Yuetian stole Lord Gray's body?" he asked in surprise.

Mark and Jingnan exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

“At the moment, this seems to be the only possibility.” Mark frowned. “But I don’t think Bai Yuetian is that kind of bad person. There might be another reason behind this.”

"The city lord not only mentioned brain transplant surgery, but he also seemed to suspect that Lord Gray's body was not his own."

Mark's eyes flickered; "Is there any possibility?"

"The body of Lord Gray actually belongs to Bai Yuetian, and now it has been returned to its rightful owner?" He put forward a bold conjecture.

Jingnan pursed her lips.

She whispered, "We can't rule out that possibility, but if Bai Yuetian really isn't Lord Gray, no matter whose body it is, the biggest question is, where did Lord Gray go?"

Lord Grey, the first lord of the Lighthouse, the founder of the Lighthouse, and the teacher and father-in-law of Lord Morgan, is of great significance to the Lighthouse.

What did he go through to lose his body? Now that he only has a brain left, what will become of him?

Was he killed by Bai Yuetian?
Jingnan's eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly.

To be honest, she didn't have much of a feeling for her maternal grandfather.

Before she could even remember anything, her grandfather had already left her. Later, the Lighthouse issued three laws that abolished family relationships in the old world.

From this perspective, she and Lord Gray were actually strangers.

If Lord Morgan has confirmed that Bai Yuetian is not Lord Gray, what are his next plans?
This is important to the lighthouse.

Bai Yuetian possesses formidable personal strength and an unfathomable background. If not handled properly, he could bring an unprecedented disaster to the Lighthouse!
Elon remained silent for a long time, then suddenly spread his hands: "I'm old, my mind doesn't work as fast as yours young people. I'll just go ask the city lord directly now."

Jingnan was stunned.

Professor Elon is an old man from the Lighthouse and has a close relationship with the Lord of the City. He might be able to get the answer directly, which is much better than them guessing here.

"Should I ask Bai Yuetian?" Mark frowned.

He has a good relationship with Bai Yuetian and may be able to get the answer directly from Bai Yuetian, but if Bai Yuetian is a bad person, asking this question will inevitably alert him.
